When we refuse to acknowledge or be affected by the Narcissist’s attempts to torture us, it angers them immensely. When we choose to carry on as though they do not exist, it speaks volumes to the Narcissist that they are not as relevant as they thought. Narcissists punish people in ways that they themselves would find very painful. And when something like emotionally starving someone doesn’t work, it confuses and frustrates the Narcissist. Because it tells the Narcissist that you are stronger than them.
But the truth is, once we know we are dealing with a Narcissist, our aim should be to cut any emotional ties so that nothing they do will ever affect us. Because they want to affect our happiness, our livelihood, our health, and whatever else they can. Their aim is to be the cause or source of our misery. This is why breaking emotional ties with a Narcissist is so important. Because when you stop being emotionally invested in a Narcissist, they will not be able to torture you. They will not be able to control you. They will not be able to affect your state of being.

Emotional Starvation by a Narcissist is intentional and destructive. It is a torture technique to manipulate and control their victims to beat them into submission. It can break us mentally and physically. The Narcissist’s game of messing with our emotions is a game we can choose not to be a part of; as it is a decision for each and every one of us to make. May we take our control back and free ourselves from the manipulations of the Narcissist.
That is it for today. I hope you all found this useful. Please share wherever you can. Many thanks for reading.
